Motions hearing set in NH officer's shooting

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man charged with attempted murder in the shooting of a Manchester police officer is returning to court for a hearing on motions before his trial starts next month.

Twenty-three-year-old Myles Webster of Litchfield is being held on $1 million bond.

He is charged with shooting Officer Dan Doherty multiple times March 21 as Doherty pursued him for questioning.

Doherty is scheduled to testify at Thursday's hearing.

Nearly a dozen motions will be argued, including a bid by Webster's lawyers to change the location of the trial and to limit testimony about Webster's prior criminal conduct.
